Spare Gigabytes

In Zak Storey’s Build It article in the December 2017 issue, on page 71, in the ingredients, he lists: “Storage 1: 80GB Crucial BX300 2.5- inch SSD $145.00.” In the article, on the same page, he states: “a 480GB Crucial BX300.” That’s quite a difference between 80GB and 480GB, so which did he use?

EXECUTIVE EDITOR ALAN DEXTER RESPONDS: Well spotted. That’s a typo on the ingredients list— it should be 480GB. Normally, you’d look at the price and realize what it’s supposed to be from there, but $145 seems low for a 480GB drive, and too high for 80GB, so we see the confusion. We did review the drive on page 86 of that issue, showing the right capacity, but normally we’d get the ingredients list correct, and you wouldn’t have to guess. The usual gremlins have been blamed and given the boot. Apologies for any confusion.
